He arrives at the hospital lookin like he's dead then he closes his eyes and the movie rewinds about a year. Ace at this time is a regular 9 to 5 guy workin at the cleaners and Mitch is a big time drug dealer. While makin drop offs Ace meets a hispanic guy and takes his clothes to the cleaners. Checkin for keys and stuff in the pants at the cleaners Ace discovers $100 worth of cocaine. He returns it to the guy which will eventually lead Ace into the drug dealin game. Mitch gets locked up for a shootin so thats when Ace becomes a dealer. While locked up Mitch gets into a fight and Rico helps him. They become friends and when the 2 get released they join Ace and make a major money off dealin. Calvin, who was Ace's sisters boyfriend got locked up before Ace starts dealin, comes back into play and wants a spot. Ace gives him a spot to work in but wont allow Calvin to actually deal the drugs because he's fresh out of jail. At first Calvin was against it but wasnt fightin it but he grows weary of the person workin his corner. He confronts Ace bout it and brings up the fact that he hooked up Mitch when he just got out of jail. Ace told him to be cool or bounce, he bounces. Which then leads to the part where Ace is attacked. Calvin wants it all from the safe at Ace's moms house. Theres nothing in it. Calvin kills both Ace's sister and her friend. Ace ends up getting pistol whipped a million times and shot in the neck and head. Ace survives but while he's recoverin he's not able to meet up with the connect to get the cocaine to move. Mitch is accepting it but Rico is gettin ansy. Mitch's little brother gets kidnapped and the ransom is $500,000. Ace gets Mitch 14 ki's to move for the ransom money. Mitch calls Rico to help him move the units. Rico kills Mitch and took the ki's. Ace is suspectin it was him and sets Rico up with the feds. Mitch's little brother was found dead. Mitch's heroin addict uncle Ice kidnapped him after Mitch whooped Ice's ass and kicked him out. At the end Ace gets out the game and sells a bag of diamonds he got from the hispanic guy after the guy was killed. The ending sees Ace lookin at the makin of a hip hop video sayin how you dont need to hustle you just gotta act like it. All in all that movie is the shit. You grow to love some of the characters and be upset when some shit happens to them. It was directed by Damon Dash,the coCEO of Rocafella Records, who also directed Paper Soldiers(2003) and State Property 2(2005). He also produced all 3 of the previously mentioned as a State Propert(2001). He also directed alot of Rocafella Records music videos. Its a good movie with only one rap star in it opposed to the other films mentioned. I give it a good 7.5/10

Describing the story for us makes us want to see it less. Tell us to see it and why you liked it, not the entire plot.
